Learn Meditation at The Raj

We invite you to learn the Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) program at the Raj.

According to Ayurveda, mind and body must be in balance to
achieve optimal health. TM is a simple, effortless technique
that produces profound benefits indicative of both mental and
physiological balance. Enjoy deep relaxation, eliminate stress,
improve health and increase creativity through regular practice of
the Transcendental Meditation program. This technique does not
require any change in beliefs or lifestyle and can be learned by
anyone regardless of age or level of education.

Instruction in TM can easily be added to any in-resident
treatment package. Or, come to The Raj for the sole purpose
of learning TM in a supportive and quiet environment, far from
the distractions of day-to-day demands. In addition to 4 days
of instruction in TM, guests have the opportunity to learn a
gentle set of yoga positions and are invited to attend the evening
lectures on Ayurveda in order to gain profound insights and
tips regarding maintaining optimal health. Add an Ayurvedic
consultation to learn about your mind/body balance, and perhaps
a treatment or two, and create your own relaxing meditation
retreat! (Click here to schedule your visit to The Raj)

Guests who already practice the TM technique can have their
meditation checked and can opt to enjoy meditating with others
in our specially designated meditation room.

The Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique is practiced
for 15-20 minutes in the morning and evening, while sitting
comfortably with the eyes closed. During this time, the
mind settles down and experiences a unique state of restful
alertness…. an experience referred to as Transcendental
Consciousness.

The regular experience of Transcendental Consciousness
develops one's latent creative potential while dissolving
accumulated stress and fatigue through this unique state of deep
rest. This experience enlivens creativity, dynamism, clarity and
efficiency, along with emotional stability and happiness, which
results in increased effectiveness and success in daily life.

The effectiveness of the Transcendental Meditation program has
been validated by over 600 scientific studies conducted at more
than 200 independent research institutions in 30 countries. These
include 368 peer- reviewed studies that have been published in
top scientific journals.

The research findings include:

Increased happiness

Reduced stress

Increased intelligence

Increased creativity

Improved memory

Improved health

Reduced high blood pressure

Improved relationships

Increased energy

Reduced insomnia

Reversal of biological aging

Reduced crime and improved quality of life in society

The research has been published in major scientific journals
such as Science, The American Journal of Physiology, Scientific
American, Lancet, The Journal of Counseling Psychology,
The International Journal of Neuroscience, The Journal of the
Canadian Medical Association, The British Journal of Educational
Psychology, and The Journal of Conflict Resolution.

Transcendental Meditation was introduced to the West in the late
1950s by its founder, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Since then, over
five million people worldwide have learned the technique and are
enjoying the wide range of benefits.

"Transcendental Meditation opens the awareness to the infinite reservoir of energy, creativity, and intelligence that lies deep within everyone. By enlivening this most basic level of life, Transcendental Meditation is that one simple procedure which can raise the life of every individual and every society to its full dignity, in which problems are absent and perfect health, happiness, and a rapid pace of progress are the natural features of life."

— Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
